16 Aug 2014 at 15:51hrs | Views
We want people to be independent and to be able to get their applications through within the given 3 months period from the 1st of October to the 31st of December 2014. One way of doing so will be to continuously provide the RELEVANT information. As soon as the process starts, we will provide the STEP-BY-STEP information so that those with limited computer/internet skills can also try to apply on their own. However, we are aware and we are getting ready to assist those who will need our assistance throughout South Africa. This we will do as a service for the people because as an organisation, we also believe that people will join us and become members once they have seen that we mean good and we are prepared to use our own resources to serve them, which is what we have been doing. We continue to encourage people to join and become full members because we are not only about permits but about migrant workers' rights promotion and protection.

PLEASE CHECK WITH THIS VFS GLOBAL SITE AS WE MOVE TOWARDS OCTOBER 1. We believe their Call Centre number will also be able to answer questions as we move towards that date as the Home Affairs might be still briefing them for now.

The site that you will use to apply on line from the 1st of October to the 31st of December 2014 and also get the Administration fee that will be charged to process your application: http://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/

Helpline: +27124253000 Emails:info.dhasa@vfshelpline.com and feedback.dhasa@vfshelpline.com

Please note that at the moment there is this information on the site but this will change: Renewal of DZP(Special Dispensation for Zimbabweans Project) for Zimbabwe nationals are handled directly by the Department of Home Affairs.

IF A NEW SITE IS OPENED TO DEAL WITH THE NEW ZSP PERMITS, WE WILL SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
